1. I just tried the nvidia-current drivers from repository. They don't work for me, either. To install the 275* drivers you have to get rid of the Ubuntu installed nvidia-current package. I used dpkg -P nvidia- current... probably not a good idea.
2. Sorry to report that I am wrong, this isn't really a fix. After all this messing around, all that happens now is Ubuntu silently defaults to unity-2d, which I mistook for regular (3d) unity. While this is an improvement over locking up the system, I don't call this a good fix.
